I am going to buy a joystick soon after Xmas. I will use it 90-100% of the time for FSX and not for general gaming. I was looking for recommendations and thought I'd troll here.

 

 

 

Not going to get foot pedals or anything like that - just really need a good flight stick with more functions than I have now.

 

 

 

I have been trying to fly in FSX with an old Gravis 2-button joystick. The simplicity of the stick makes it damn near useless in a modern flight sim.

 

 

 

All recommendations considered and TIA.

I'm currently using Logitech Attack 3 joystick for FSX.

 

I know it's an "attack" joystick, but the function key are designed pretty well for FSX too.

 

Plus it's pretty cheap compared to the others, and the black color fit into the rest of my computer pretty well. Plus it looks pretty modern.

 

 

 

the following is my map key for the joystick :

 

1 brake, 2 AP disengage, 3 for center flight control, 4 for left rudder, 5 for right rudder, 6 full throttle, 7 reverse thrust, 8 spoilers, 9 gear, 10 auto throttle, 11 TOGA.

 

 

 

and the throttle control axis is pretty good designed as well.
